Suddenly, a Fairy of Mist and Haze appeared, along with a Tree Hollow Daoist and an Incense Cigarette Nun. Xiao Yun found these three quite interesting.
Not only were their nicknames amusing, but what was even more entertaining was the way they addressed each other.
"From your accents, I can tell you’re not locals, right?" Xiao Yun asked with a smile.
"Little brat, you have a good eye," Yuwen Lianyan replied. "We all came from out of town. We just arrived in the Galaxy yesterday. We saw on TV that there’s a Flower Exhibition here, and that the flowers on display are ones that don’t exist in the world. Naturally, we were curious and came to take a look!"
"That’s great! This Flower Exhibition was organized by my friend. Let me take you inside to have a look!" Xiao Yun said enthusiastically.
The group then headed towards the Exhibition Hall.
"Hey little brat, you haven’t agreed to be my friend yet!" Yuwen Lianyan caught up with Xiao Yun, walking alongside him and pouting.
"Being friends is fine, but could you stop calling me little brat? You’re not that much older than me!" Of course, being friends with beautiful women was something Master Xiao enjoyed the most, but being called little brat repeatedly was quite annoying.
"Alright," Yuwen Lianyan seemed easy to negotiate with. However, her eyes sparkled as she leaned closer to Xiao Yun and whispered in his ear, "If you don’t want me to call you little brat, then you have to be my man!"
Wow!
So this Fairy of Mist and Haze is a bit of a flirt?
That was something Master Xiao often said to beautiful women.
However, his words were meant to tell those women that they should be his partners.
Even if she wanted him to be her man, did she really have to say it so directly?
As Xiao Yun pondered how to respond to her, he suddenly heard the three of them gasp in unison. It turned out that once they entered the Exhibition Hall, they were all captivated by the various flowers inside.
Tree Hollow Daoist clapped his hands and said, "This flower should only exist in the heavens; how rare it is to see it in the mortal realm!"
"Wow, what a beautiful flower! It... smells even better than smoke!" Incense Cigarette Nun quickly extinguished her cigarette, closed her eyes, and inhaled deeply, savoring the floral fragrance that enveloped her.
Yuwen Lianyan, however, furrowed her brows in thought and said, "Strange. I never expected to see these flowers here. It seems that only one person in this world could cultivate such flowers!"
Upon hearing her words, Xiao Yun was taken aback and wondered if she knew Qiu Yue.
"Beautiful sister," he asked eagerly, "who is the person you mentioned?"
Yuwen Lianyan replied, "She is a younger Sister of mine from many years ago. It's been at least forty years since I last saw her..."
Forty years?
Xiao Yun thought he must have misheard.
Looking at Fairy of Mist and Haze, she appeared to be no more than thirty.
Uh, does this woman have a problem? Why does she always speak so oddly?
Just then, Qiu Yue, gracefully accompanied by Xiao Ling and a group of noblewomen, walked over from the Beauty Perfume hall.
"Xiao Yun," Qiu Yue spotted him and the three people beside him. Curiously observing their attire, she approached and asked with a smile, "Are they your friends?"
"Hehe, they came to see the Flower Exhibition, and we just met!" Xiao Yun introduced Yuwen Lianyan and the others to her.
Then, Xiao Yun informed Yuwen Lianyan that these flowers were all cultivated by her.
"What a beautiful Sister!" Incense Cigarette Nun exclaimed, gazing at Qiu Yue with sparkling eyes.
Yuwen Lianyan asked, "Miss, who did you learn these flower cultivation techniques from?"
This question left Qiu Yue speechless.
When Xiao Yun first saw those flowers on Panlong Mountain, she had asked her the same thing.
She had never learned flower cultivation from anyone.
In her dreams, she was often surrounded by strange flowers, each seeming to have a connection with her. Those flowers bloomed vibrantly around her, exuding a rich fragrance.
Even she couldn't understand why she always dreamed of those flowers.
Until one day, when she discovered that area in the Grand Canyon, she suddenly felt enveloped by a particularly familiar aura. That indescribable joy brought her an unprecedented sense of ease, making her feel as if she had stepped into the clouds, her steps light and her whole being agile.
Thus, she had the idea to bring all the flowers from her dreams to this Grand Canyon. Regardless of Spring, Summer, Autumn, or Winter, she wanted to turn this place into a sea of flowers.
After this thought took root, Qiu Yue began to use her spare time from teaching to collect various flower seeds and sow them in that piece of land. Strangely enough, when those seeds sprouted and new green shoots broke through the soil, they would grow different branches and leaves according to her thoughts, blooming flowers unlike any in the world...
But who would believe such things if she told them?
To others, it would surely sound like a fairy tale—something that couldn't possibly exist in real life.
Yet in reality, these flowers bloomed in the Grand Canyon of Panlong Mountain under Qiu Yue's careful nurturing, showcasing their unique charm.
Now hearing Yuwen Lianyan's inquiry, Qiu Yue truly didn't know how to respond.
"This sister, actually, I have never learned from anyone while cultivating these flowers!" Qiu Yue replied with a blush.
Yuwen Lianyan said, "So you are self-taught?"
"Well, I suppose you could say that!" Qiu Yue's face turned even redder as she struggled to explain the situation.
"This is quite strange!" Yuwen Lianyan murmured to herself.
In her eyes, an ordinary woman like Qiu Yue shouldn't be able to cultivate such flowers.
Xiao Yun, however, was very interested in the Sister she mentioned from many years ago.
He asked, "Beautiful sister, can you tell me who that Sister is that you haven't seen in over forty years?"
To Xiao Yun, Yuwen Lianyan appeared to be no more than in her thirties. Although he felt his question was rather absurd, he couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.
In his mind, if what Yuwen Lianyan said was true, then her Sister must have a significant connection to Qiu Yue's background.
Yuwen Lianyan glanced at Xiao Yun and smiled, "My Sister is not a person of the mundane world; you wouldn't understand even if I told you. However, I can see that you carry a strong aura of celestial spirit. May I ask which sect you belong to?"
This was the second time Xiao Yun had heard her mention the celestial spirit aura around him.
Could she really see the Heavenly Spirit Essence within me?
"I don't belong to any sect, beautiful sister. I don't understand anything about this celestial spirit aura you're talking about!" Xiao Yun pretended to be confused on purpose.
"You little brat, not telling me the truth? Fine, we may meet again someday!"
Unexpectedly, Yuwen Lianyan's expression suddenly darkened as she turned to the Taoist priest and nun and said, "Let's go!"
Seeing them walk toward the Exhibition Hall's exit, Xiao Yun hurried after them and called out, "Beautiful sister, please tell me who your Sister is!"
However, by the time he chased outside, there was no sign of the three of them.
He quickly activated his Spiritual Sense and searched around, but he couldn't find any trace of them.
It was strange; could these three have mastered some kind of stealth technique?
Xiao Yun felt regretful. If only he had managed to detain that Fairy of Mist and Haze, he might have uncovered Qiu Yue's background. Now, she had slipped away just like that.
"Xiao Yun, where did those three go? Why do I feel like something is off with them?" Qiu Yue asked as she followed him out.
Xiao Yun sighed dejectedly, "I don't know where they ran off to either!"
...
At this moment, Yuwen Lianyan, along with the Tree Hollow Daoist and the Incense Cigarette Nun, was walking along the path outside the Galactic District.
"Hey, I say you old immortal fairy, didn't you have your eyes on that kid with the surname Xiao? Why did you let him go so easily?" the Tree Hollow Daoist asked Yuwen Lianyan.
Yuwen Lianyan wore a smug expression and smiled charmingly, "Right now, I'm much more interested in that girl Qiu Yue!"
The Incense Cigarette Nun was not very talkative and kept smoking her incense.
She couldn't help but ask, "Why?"
Yuwen Lianyan replied, "I suspect that Qiu Yue has a significant connection to Tsukihime."
"Tsukihime? Are you talking about the Tsukihime from the Peerless Sect and Illusionary Flower Palace?" the Tree Hollow Daoist inquired.
"That's right. This Tsukihime is the same Sister I knew back in the day. Unfortunately, I haven't seen her in over forty years. You should know that all women from the Peerless Sect are naturally beautiful; they never interact with anyone in the world and avoid dealings with men. However, I heard that Tsukihime, as the leader of the Peerless Sect's Illusionary Flower Palace, once fell for a man and eloped with him. When the leader of the Peerless Sect found out, she was brought back. Surprisingly, less than ten months later, she gave birth to a pair of twin girls—one was kept while the other was abandoned."
The Tree Hollow Daoist said, "So you suspect that Qiu Yue is the girl who was thrown away?"
"Not at all," Yuwen Lianyan said, "Although I live on a lonely island in the East Sea, I am quite well-informed. It is said that the girl who was left behind escaped from the Peerless Sect when she was sixteen, and has not been found since. The world is unpredictable; earlier this year, Tsukihime, the master of the Illusionary Flower Palace, suddenly fell ill with a strange disease that turned her bones to water, leaving her paralyzed in bed and unable to manage palace affairs. This drove the master of the Peerless Sect to desperation. After much thought, the only solution was to find her daughter to take over her position. Thus, the Peerless Sect dispatched many disciples to search for her daughter from back then. Eventually, they learned that Duan Qingxue, the granddaughter of Duan Haoran, chairman of the Galaxy District Duan Clan, was that girl abandoned by the Peerless Sect. They took her back and installed her as the master of the Illusionary Flower Palace."
"So this Qiu Yue is the girl who ran away from the Peerless Sect?" Incense Cigarette Nun asked, taking a deep puff of smoke.
Yuwen Lianyan replied, "That's right!"
The Tree Hollow Daoist asked in confusion, "Even if she is Tsukihime's daughter, what does it matter to you?"
Yuwen Lianyan suddenly smiled and said, "Do you know about the Blood Kill Group overseas?"
"I know. The Blood Kill Group is a demonic faction with immense power. They commit all sorts of evil acts due to their profound magic, yet they remain hidden so well that no one can deal with them."
Yuwen Lianyan continued, "The leader of this Blood Kill Group is actually Wilson, who resides in America. Wilson publicly presents himself as a businessman and has had dealings with Duan Haoran. Years ago, he came to the Galaxy and immediately recognized that Duan Qingxue was a spiritual body and wanted to marry her. He believed that if he could have physical contact with Duan Qingxue, he could enhance his blood magic a hundredfold and even achieve immortality. However, just after the Duan Family formally proposed to Duan Qingxue this year and was preparing to take her back to America, she was abducted by someone from the Peerless Sect at the airport..."
"Imagine how those blood demons would react! When Wilson learned that Duan Qingxue had been taken by the Peerless Sect, he sent a large number of people into China to search for them. But even we do not know where the Peerless Sect is located; how could they foreigners possibly find it?" Yuwen Lianyan laughed.
"I understand," Tree Hollow Daoist said. "Since Qiu Yue is also a spiritual body, you want to use her to negotiate with Wilson?"
Yuwen Lianyan chuckled, "Tree Hollow Daoist, how clever you are!"
Tree Hollow Daoist angrily retorted, "Fairy of Mist and Haze, you are shameless! We are all Huaxia people; how can you commit such an immoral act? Hmph! I will sever ties with you, Enchantress!"
"Yes," Incense Cigarette Nun threw down her half-finished cigarette onto the ground and gritted her teeth defiantly. "I will sever ties with you too!"
